London Bridge isn’t falling down
April 30, 2009
At least we hope it isn’t. If it is, we’ll be trapped on a man-made island at Lake Havasu, AZ. And we’d have to swim across the man-made channel to get to the other brewpub that isn’t on the island. (Currently at Barley Brothers (really malty IPA has me slightly stunned), going to Mudshark Brewing [...]
interlude in a small motel, Holbrook, AZ
April 30, 2009
After we left the Sugarite campground in northern NM, we drove quite a while. I was hoping that we’d be able to camp in the Petrified Forest National Park, but they’re only open during the day–no camping. So we drove on to the next outpost of civilization: Holbrook, AZ. Once we got into town we [...]
The Gospel of Tears
April 29, 2009
On this trip, I have had the pleasure and occasional discomfort of explaining the origin, purpose, function, construction of the magnificent Shorty. Having a teardrop is not for the shy…and if you are (as I can be), it forces you to Deal With It.
When I sprinted to the bathroom at Sugarite State Park, I was [...]
assorted notes
April 28, 2009
We went with my parents back to the Third Base brewpub, and I’ve discovered that my father does indeed turn up past eleven. But you just can’t take your parents anywhere: “I’ll take that with the potato wedgeies” he tells the waitron and mom responds “I’ll give you a WEDGIE!”
We left on Saturday, drove to [...]
yesterday, tomorrow
April 24, 2009
Yesterday we went to the Pleasant Creek “lake” which is also emergency water in case the nuclear power plant melts down. It’s about 10 miles from where I grew up and went to school. We walked some trails, mostly because all we’ve been doing is sitting in the car, sitting in someone’s house visiting, sitting [...]
Breweries
April 24, 2009
While we were in Indiana, we stopped twice at Three Floyds Brewpub in Munster. We’re both investors in the brewpub and like to ‘keep our eye on our investment’ and we also brought our “free pint a day” cards for their rare use.
Courtney spotted the Zeitgeist sticker behind the bar (Zeitgeist is a bike/cycle bar [...]
Iowa (Shellsburg, Center Point, Urbana, Vinton, Cedar Rapids)
April 22, 2009
Drove from Crown Point, IN (to Three Floyds Brewpub and then) along Route 30 to Cedar Rapids, through some of the flooded-out areas up to my parents place in the country between Shellsburg and Urbana, Center Point and Vinton. Going slow because the car temp is crazy. Finally made it to my parents place last [...]
